#2 Of all the proposed or desired OWG "Global Federal Unions, the EU/EUZ is the only one that was formally supported in national referendums + made operational.

AFAIK Year 2015 [or ASAP after] is still the benchmark goal for establishing NAU.

* E.G. FREEREPUBLIC > INTEL REPORT: US WILL NO LONGER BE SOLE SUPERPOWER BY 2030.

Although WASH DC is still expected to be a major City + US Capital under NAU, its not clear yet just how much sovereign power-n-authority the US + US Govt is willing to give up to NAU under OWG.

One can make the argument that the reason, or one of them, the US is engaging in overt Socialism is that IT DOESN'T KNOW HOW THINGS WILL BE - FREEDOMS + FREE MARKETS, ETC.- UNDER OWG NAU, I.E. BETTER "SAFE THAN SORRY" + TRY TO GET GOVT-LED, GOVT-CENTRIC CONTROL OF AMERICANS + AMER SOCIETY ASAP AMAP ALAP IN THE FACE OF UNCERTAINITY + A OWG NAU THAT W-I-L-L BE ENACTED COME 2015 OR ASAP AFTER.

"2015" = also means or infers that there won't be enough time, given the current + projected sttae of the US-World Economy + overseas foreign policy setbacks [GWOT, China, Iran], to formally put the issue of NAU before the Amer people in national referendum(s).

STRONG/EMPOWERED OWG NAU = either the US GOVT VOLUNTARILY GIVES UP SOVEREIGN POWER-N-AUTHORITY, OR ELSE IS MILPOL FORCED TO VIA STRATEGIC INTERNATIONAL = GEOPOL CONFRONTATIONISM, E.G. AVOIDANCE OF MUTUALLY DESTRUCTIVE NUCLEAR WAR IN EAST ASIA VEE RISING CHINA.

DEFEAT OR STALEMATE, under NucWar conditions = "Nuclear Munich"???
